Queen of Colors

Stage adaptation by Judith Drühe and Ioana Petre

Queen Malwida rules over the heavenly empire of colours. When she calls, her subjects come and make her life brilliant. But Blue, Red and Yellow also have a mind of their own which can make living together a bit chaotic at times. With simple means and beautifully composed music, we depict Jutta Bauer’s poetic story in bright new colours. In this production, Red, Blue and Yellow are accompanied by the instruments which intensify their impact. For colour and music are integral parts of our lives and are ideal mediums for expressing our feelings.

 Ioana Petre has been an assistant director at the DNT since the 2017/18 season. She has staged several plays for children at the Teatrul Ion Creanga in Bucharest. The »Queen of Colours« is her directing debut in Weimar.
